I am assuming you are in the operations side of things and want to get into the management part of things now. I would suggest you take a look at a MBA as a good option. You will have to sit for GMAT but you will get much more out of it from a management perspective.

Having looked at the course it is more of basics and then with Ontario specific rules. If you are looking to join the workforce in Canada it seems suitable but I don't believe that's suitable for you experience and age.

What are you looking to do. Are you looking with job prospects or developing your skills.

Have you though of doing something related with oil and gas. Alberta is the province for anything related to that though it is going through a dip at the current moment. I would suggest a master's or something like that in your related field as there are quite a few good pathways to PR after master's. Also graduate courses like the one in George brown will be mostly of people around 20-25 yrs of age which may be a issue for you.

Alternatively you could apply for PR from where you are but I am guessing you already though of that.
